DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS REVIEW BY RONDA RACHA PENRICE
Devil in a Blue Dress is one of Denzel Washington’s best films. As Ezekiel “Easy” Rawlins, Washington is a migrant from Texas, a Black man in Los Angeles, just trying to make it in a 1940s world. A job lost and need for work to pay his mortgage leads to all kinds of mayhem that gets him trapped between the color line and possibly charged with multiple murders. Just like Washington’s acting, Carl Franklin’s adaptation and directing is top-notch in this film noir. From the look and feel to the wardrobe and music, Franklin doesn’t miss a beat. Performances by Don Cheadle as Mouse, a breakout role for him, and the often-forgotten Lisa Nicole Carson as Coretta are just spectacular. It’s a delicious film that’s always delightful to watch, regardless of how many times you may have seen it. And, if you’re watching it for the first time, oh boy, lay back and relax because this one is a treat for the eyes and the soul.

ABOUT DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS
Denzel Washington turns up the heat as an L.A. private eye in this steamy mystery from executive producers Jonathan Demme and Edward Saxon and writer/director Carl Franklin. Washington stars as Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins, a decorated war hero who returns home to the segregation of post-war America. Forced to accept an under-the-table job finding a missing socialite, Easy is caught between the white power elite and the vibrant black community of Central Avenue. And as soon as Easy and his trigger-happy friend Mouse (Don Cheadle, in a star-making performance) find the mysterious Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), trouble follows.
